Unsurprisingly, internet giants Google came out on top for April Fool’s pranks, with a whole host of stories, gadgets and features that kept us entertained yesterday.

They also announced a feature in their Translate function that allowed users to turn websites into emojis. Imagine the headache!

Finally, and perhaps the coolest prank of them all, was Google’s cryptic video suggesting they were on the lookout for Pokémon Masters.

Pokémon nerds – feel free to go crazy!
